A handy hand held Vax

Advantages: Easy to use, a handy little cleaning item
Disadvantages: None

... VAX V-031 LIBRETTO HAND HELD VACUUM CLEANER This little appliance is one of my best buys from Netto. Netto isn?t a shop that I go in very often, but when I do I always take a look at their electrical goods that they sell from time to time, they often have some good bargains. Last year I spotted just the thing that I had been looking for, a good hand held vacuum cleaner. My son and my grandchildren can?t eat a packet of crisps or biscuits without creating mounds of crumbs, and Ginger my fat little hamster throws sawdust out of his cage just for the sake of it. Rather than having to drag out my large vacuum cleaner every time I wanted a good standard, hand held, rechargeable vacuum cleaner. The cleaner that I purchased from Netto was the Vax Libretto. I managed to purchase it for £19.99, which seemed a good price...

Review of VAX V-031 HAND HELD

Possibly the best hand held console

Advantages: Sleek and stylish, vast amount of games, great fun to play, wi-fi enabled
Disadvantages: Not the best graphics and audio of the hand helds, still expensive

...achievable using the touch screen so what?s the point in playing if you know you are never going to exceed your last performance? It should be noted that some games can be played using the D pad and the buttons or the stylus, and some games do not use the touch screen and stylus combination at all. I find this amazing since it is the touch screen technology that drives the sales of the NDSL and some game producers just don?t exploit this. What is the point in having the technology and not using it, i.e. producing a game for the NDSL that does not use the touch screen? The NDSL has 4 brightness settings, and whilst this is 2 more than the NDS I do feel that it is still not enough, especially since the original Game boy (released back in the late eighties) and almost all subsequent hand helds have had many more brightness settings...

Review of Nintendo DS Lite

Nintendo DS Lite - Hand helds just got better

Advantages: Small, sleek, clear display, excellent interaction, games support
Disadvantages: Not as powerful or flexible as PSP

...Nintendo DS Lite hand held console Carrying on from the massive handheld success that was the Gameboy, Nintendo's continued the phenomenon with upgrades like the Game Boy Colour, Micro, Advance and now currently the DS. Just like the previous handheld incarnations, the DS uses micro cartridges that stick into the top of console. The original DS was released in North America in November of 2004, and the European shores in March the next year. It has been a massive commercial success in all corners of the world and has since been refreshed and released under its present guise the DS Lite. Like the DS the Lite, has the same 2x ARM processors, the same amount of memory and had the same game compatibility and wireless LAN features and of cause the same twin screen style setup. The new Lite made for a new attractive look...

Review of Nintendo DS Lite

~ A " right " (or left ) pain in the thumb ~

Advantages: Steam cleans without the need for harsh / toxic chemicals
Disadvantages: constant pressure is required from the thumb

...I had seen various hand held steam cleaners advertised when my son went through a (very annoying) phase watching those TV shopping channels and have to say that I was suitably impressed with the results they seemed to achieve. Looking at the somewhat tired and sleepy appearance of our bathroom tiles and grouting, my memory took me back to those adverts and I started to wonder if a steam cleaner could be just the solution to wake them up. Whilst on a shopping trip to B&Q, I noticed they were selling 1200 watt Vax V-084 hand held steam cleaners for £29.99. It looked like the answer to our problems and as I had a voucher for the shop, I wasted no time popping one in the trolley. There are various attachments included which, on reading the instruction booklet, gave me the impression my life would somehow become easier when it came...

LITTLE TINY HOOVER

Advantages: it's great for little mess
Disadvantages: none

...a lovely hand held hover by vax. The vax hand held hover is about 17cm long, cordless and is perfect for those little mistakes than anyone could make. So if you have just done your house work and there is a mess on the floor you can simply just use the hand held hover instead of bringing out the big bulking hover just to clean up a little bit of mess. It?s that easy. You simply just switch it on and let the hand held hover do the rest. It has different parts which are the front nozzle/dust container, washable dust filter, dust container release button, battery charging status indicator (green leds) charging indicator (red led) on/off switch, carry handle, charging unit/tool caddy, crevice tool, dusting brush and AC mains adapter. You may not understand what all of these are but when you buy this item it tells you what everything...

Review of VAX V-031 HAND HELD

Playstation Portable (PSP) Hand held games console

Advantages: Beautiful graphics for the size. Responsive Buttons. Not restricted to games
Disadvantages: Relatively expensive. To protect against scratches etc additional expense required.

....8GB (Single-sided, dual layer) Laser wavelength: 660nm (Red laser) Encryption: AES 128bit Profile: PSP Game (full function) UMD Audio (codec ATRAC3plus?, PCM, (MPEG4 AVC)) UMD Video (codec MPEG4 AVC, ATRAC3plus?, Caption PNG) To summarise I would recommend a PSP to anybody looking for gaming on the move - It outclasses other hand held consoles by a wide margin. The price is currently steep but hopefully this will come down. It's a five star product let down only by it's cost and lack of protection. But on the basis that Sony will probably drop the price soon having wished only to fleece those of us who like the launch product I won't deduct marks because of this....

Review of Hasbro Monopoly Hand Held

Lending a Hand

Advantages: Great characters, story telling and funny
Disadvantages: None too many

...Imagine a young man on his way to a less than thirty second event - the loss of his left hand, long before he reached middle age... This is the doorway by which we meet Patrick Wallingford, John Irving's character in the book, firth published in 2001. Those of you who do not know, Mr Irving is the best-selling American author. Born in New Hampshire in 1942, John Winslow Irving is the author of more than ten novels, among them The Cider House Rules, The World According to Garp and A Widow for one Year. Irving is married to Janet and they have three sons. He lives in Toronto and in southern Vermont. I have been reading his works on and off for a long time now and never cease to be enthralled by his prose, narrative and general story-telling. His work is funny and moving, putting people in sometimes bizarre situations...

Review of The Fourth Hand - John Irving

PSP Hand Held Console

Advantages: Easy to hold and play, Small for easy storage
Disadvantages: Games are very expensive

...The PSP is a great invention, its small & light to hold, you can surf the internet, download music & videos to it. The only problems i found were the games cost alot of money, & the games & videos i downloaded i never have been able to locate on my PSP. Some of the games take a long time loading & all the extra accessories to improve your PSP can be really expensive too. There are 2 types of PSP packages you can buy. The PSP Value pack which comes with an AC Adapter, Battery Pack, Headphones with Remote Control attached to them, Memory Stick Duo 32MB, Wrist Strap, Pouch, Cloth, UMD Software & Printed Materials. The GIGA PACK which basically contains the same as the Value Pack but instead of a 32MB Memory Stick it has a 1GB Memory Stick. I have the Value Pack. The Battery slots into the back of your psp on the right hand...

Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP)

Hands up!

Advantages: kills 99.99% of bacteria
Disadvantages: none

...I?m not a fan of antibacterial staff in the kitchen, bathroom and everywhere but since I have little kids I have to take care of their health. When we go out to do the shopping I don?t get them out of the pushchair so we don?t use the hand hygiene gel but after playing in the playground I always clean their hands with the antibacterial gel. Package ------------- The Cuticura Hand Hygiene Gel comes in a transparent plastic bottle. Its size is perfect I can put it in my pocket or in my bag. I have a lot of them and I always have at least one with me. The bottle contains 100 ml transparent gel. The plastic bottle is recyclable and it doesn?t break if you let it fall (my sons tested it lol). It is available also in larger bottle of 250 ml. The transparent bottle is very practical because you can see how much gel remained in it. The cap...
